Windows installer (wxMaxima-22.12.0-win64.exe, released on 2022-01-07)
This installer does only contain wxMaxima. You will need a Maxima installation too and will need to configure the path to Maxima in wxMaxima.
Maybe Windows will warn you, that "This program is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer."
The reason may be, that the installer was not often downloaded and it is not signed with an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing certificate.
[The code signing certificate is not an "EV"-code signing certificate, which means no "instant trust" with "Microsoft SmartScreen", but hopefully better than an unsigned installer. As "Publisher" you will see "FH Joanneum", which is the university of applied sciences, where I work (look in the "Details" to see my name). Thanks a lot to the FH Joanneum, that I got the code signing certificate and may use it for the Maxima/wxMaxima installer].
If you want to do an unattended installation (e.g. if you plan to install Maxima on many computers in a school, university or company), this installer (and uninstaller) understands the command line switch "/S" (for 'silent install').
